Dchicha Cracked Wheat Soup

Cracked wheat (dchicha dyal zraa') is used to make this easy, satisfying Moroccan soup. The measures below yield a somewhat peppery broth; reduce the ginger and pepper slightly for a milder soup. Be careful that you use cracked wheat and not the similar, but precooked, bulgur.Dchicha soup is best served immediately after cooking, as the wheat will continue to swell and thicken as the soup sits. Add water (and a little more seasoning if necessary) to thin the soup when reheating.Serve dchicha soup as a light supper or for breakfast.
